A couple of years ago, in Portugal, there were more couples looking to adopt than “viable” children up for adoption. While your statement makes total sense, it may be a insensible option on your country. Make due research!

If no one even bothers to reply I’ll probably just buy another brand to be honest :/
When I was going through college I had to work as a Microsoft salesperson in the largest commercial shop of my country. Basically I had to sell Windows laptops and ensure every purchase had a Microsoft office attached.
My stand was right next to Apple’s and I had a lot of Apple fan boys tease me saying how superior Apple hardware was, how fast and secure everything is. I felt that by having no experience with Apple devices I was not doing my work properly, I couldn’t personally disprove their experiences and opinions with my own. I ended up buying a 13 inch MacBook pro for 1300 euros, I believe. Since I worked at the shop they gave me a considerable discount, I’m unsure what the actual retail price was but certainly at least 1800 euros.
I felt robbed, to be honest. Using an Unix like system was nice, I always loved posix shells. Everything else was honesty a terrible experience. Why the hell do I need xcode to do anything? Why does git depend on xcode? Why is xcode no longer available for my machine directly from the store? Why is the store sooooo damn slow? Why am I forced to use Safari’s garbage engine, regardless of the browser I choose?
I understand the appeal of having an entire ecosystem of devices that play nice together but MacOS was the only operative system I tried that would actually get on the way of doing work for me personally. For 1300 euros I could have gotten a beast windows laptop at the time, with a nice dedicated GPU instead of that Intel integrated garbage card that can barely play a YouTube video without full speed fans.
A couple of months ago I ended up installing EndeavourOS on this MacBook and it honestly brought this laptop back to life. So much faster and I can finally go back to installing up to date browsers! I have full Java stack running on an up to date intellij IDE and it works nice. A little slow, sure, but fast enough to get work done on emergencies. No more eternal spinning wheel loops.
Hate is a very strong word, I don’t hate Apple. I just would not buy or recommend anyone to buy any of their products. They’re pretty, tho!
If I developed a Linux app I would absolutely package it as a flatpak. If a package is in pacman, however, I see no reason to use the flatpak version instead.
You misunderstood the sign. You can’t smoke the dog, the dog can do whatever the hell it wants. Smoking cigar is allowed, smoking barefeet dogs not allowed.
I had the opposite experience. I have been using EndeavourOS on my desktop since November, zero issues. This weekend I’ve been distro hopping on my old MacBook pro and almost every distro had a problem. Some didn’t boot, other had wifi issues, trackpad issues, keyboard volume keys not working, high CPU usage… EndeavourOS was the only one I tried that just worked out of the box with no issues
EndeavourOS has been a wonderful experience for me, can’t recommend it enough.
Since when does EndeavourOS supply a GUI package manager? They don’t even have Discover installed out of the box.
I don’t think it’s more confusing than Arch, if you know how to maintain Arch then you’re not gonna have any trouble at all.
I agree that their eos popup is a bit meh but you can just press the “Don’t show me again” button and be done with it
EndeavourOS is basically Arch with an easy installer and reasonable defaults. Don’t expect it to be more than it is!
Very nice. Too bad they aren’t officially supporting arch, not sure if I want such a critical app installed via AUR (when someone builds it).
Be sure to review the packaging script very carefully, folks!
No, but I also don’t want to only have 2GB XD
Can you even run Windows with just 2gb?
I don’t know which provider is the best but I’ve been using Proton Pass and it’s excellent. Proton Pass is a password manager but you can use it just to generate email aliases on the fly. The paid version has unlimited aliases and only costs 2 euros a month. I think it’s a very nice value.
I use Linux servers on my job and I did a ton of research. I felt confident in moving from Windows to Linux and for the most part it went very well. Most distributions provide a live environment and the installer is extremely easy.
I had a ton of small little problems with Nvidia, Wayland, audio… I ended up fixing most of them, or at least apply some workarounds but it was a painful experience.
Gaming works really really really well, which I found surprising.
I miss some Reddit communities, to be honest. There are no communities here for most of my hobbies and that brings down my enjoyment of the platform. Most things that spark joy in my life are not here.
Another thing that has been bumming me out is that people are way more aggressive now. Lemmy was a very friendly and welcoming environment, even in the most toxic topics you could think of. Lately I find a lot of elitist comments where anyone that doesn’t have the same opinion or needs is objectively an idiot.
On the positive side, I switched to Linux because of Lemmy! And I’m (still) learning Rust!
Even good developers make mistakes. It’s really nice to catch these mistakes at compile time.
Great question!
I really like when the games art immediately pulls players in. Everyone wants to play Flamecraft because the art work is so damn cute. Players are already engaged with the.gsme, before it even started.
Everdell is great too!
The great thing about Linux is that there are options for everyone.
Want an OS with a full desktop installed? We got you.
Want an OS with almost nothing installed where you can make every single decision? We got you.
Want to build the OS entirely from scratch? We got you.
There’s an option for everyone and that’s cool. Don’t be mad about having a choice.
I get it. The problem is that the target audience doesn’t watch these videos. We all have that one friend who thinks VPNs make you invisible.
You may find it laughable but it is what it is. Most people does not enjoy signing up for specific product forums. It’s much easier to just add yet another discord server to the list.
Proton has a very nice article on how to set up torrenting: https://protonvpn.com/support/bittorrent-vpn/
